Spring 2018

Spring Season Begins!
Hope you all enjoyed our winter season

Games will continue being played at Jeanne Sauve PS (950 Coldstream Dr, Oshawa) and teams will be playing two 30 min games starting at 8:15PM or 9:15PM. We would advise that people park at the rear of the school (North side) entering off of Clearbrook Drive. There will be an unlocked door on the west side of the gym close to the North parking lot.

Please see the link below (Rules.doc) for the updated rules at Jeanne Sauve PS. Detailed changes that began in the fall season are noted in Red.
Rules.doc

Please note the following:
• 5 balls per court. Teams will start with two balls with one in the centre.
• Teams will switch sides halfway
• Throwing Line will be Implemented - Thrower is out if he/she releases a ball in front of the line. Any people hit during the throw will remain in the game.
• Out of Bounds areas - Blue tiled areas are soft boundaries (similar to the red line @ village union)
• Out of Bounds areas - Doorways and alcoves are also soft boundaries but catches do not count and the player catching the ball will be called out.
Schedule
The schedule is up at http://durhamdodgeball.com/schedule. This schedule normally does not change, but you should always refer back to this page before the games each week as there could be changes, and also to make sure you have the correct times. Please note: We have 6 teams registered for the spring season and therefore two teams will play each other twice in one night.

March Break

Just a reminder, no games next week! March 14th. Schools closed for March Break! See you all the following week.

Winter 2017

Winter Registration!

Hello everybody! Our Fall Season is coming to a close, and we wanted to thank everyone for playing and making it an awesome season. With that said it is time to think about our Winter Season!

Games will be played at Jean Sauvé Public School in Oshawa between 8:15 and 10:15. The season will begin on Wednesday January 10th, 2018 with 8 regular season games + playoffs.

Fees

Early Bird Rate: From now until December 20th, 2017, team registration will be $640 and Individual registration will be $80 each. After December 20th, 2017, the cost of registration increases to $760 per team and $95 per individual.

Please note, to guarantee your spot, we must receive full payment. We do have a limited number of spaces, so first teams to pay will get the spots. Unfortunately, we are still having issues with our online payment system. As of right now, we can only accept cash or email money transfer. You can email your registration fee to durhamdodgeball@gmail.com . Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you know anybody who wants to come out and play, please put the word out. And if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Here's looking forward to an awesome Winter Season. Thanks everyone for helping us grow and supporting us!

Playoffs Schedule is Up!

It's Almost Playoff Time!

The regular season is almost over! We have one week of regular season play left. The playoff schedule is up at http://durhamdodgeball.com/schedule. (Team Names will be added after regular season play ends)

Please note playoffs this year will be on Dec. 6th and Dec. 20th. The School will be closed on Dec. 13th, no games will take place.

A Rule Change note.

Games in playoffs will be 20 minutes. We will also need to ensure that all playoff games end on time. If time runs out, games will be decided by number of players left on the court. If number of players is tied, we will go into sudden death, meaning first team to lose a player loses that game.

Playoff Conduct
I know that the game of dodgeball brings out people's competitive spirits, but i would just like to reiterate how important it is for people to play with honesty and respect. Do NOT wait for a referee to call you out if you are hit or your ball is caught. Also, do NOT call players out on the opposing team or complain about calls that are made or not made. The job of our referees are tough and it is important that people listen to their calls. There are a lot of players and balls on the court, and it can get pretty chaotic. The referees do their best to keep things fair and call what they see. Please respect their decisions whether they are good or bad. They have the final say whether a person is in or out and have the ability to reprimand people/teams if things get out of hand.

This has been another fun season and thanks for all who came out and supported the league. It's time to start recruiting! We had a record number of teams apply to join the league this season. With that we'd like to see how much interest there is in adding a second league that would play on Tuesday night. If you are interested in playing Tuesday night please let us know.

We will still be running Wednesday night, stay tuned for details on registration. Next season will start early January.

Spring 2017 Registration

Spring Registration!!!

Hello everybody! The Winter season is winding down and we are looking forward to another exciting Spring season! The new season will begin on on April 5th, 2017 on Wednesday nights between 8:15pm and 10:15pm (two 30 min games) at Village Union PS (240 Simcoe St S) in Oshawa. Players are welcome to sign up as individuals, small groups or full teams. It will again be a 10 week season including playoffs.

Fees

Early Bird Rate: From now until March 22, 2017, team registration is be $640 and individual registration is $80 each. After March 23, 2017, the cost of registration increases to $760 per team and $95 per individual.

Confirmation

Just a reminder that your registration is considered pending until it's paid in full. If you pay online when you register, you're good. But if you register late, or if you choose to pay later and don't make arrangements with us to pay, you are NOT confirmed, and another individual/team could register, pay and take your spot. All players must be paid up in full or they will not be allowed to play.

Free Session

Durham Dodgeball will be running a free session on Wednesday March 29th, 2017 from 8:15pm to 10:15pm. Players are encouraged to pass the word around to anybody you think may be interested.

Notes

We are implementing a couple changes to the rules starting in the Spring Season.

Players Returning to the Court
1. Players that are returning to the court on a catch that is made are not active until they touch the back wall. This gives returning players a chance to get on the court without the worry of being hit. If the returning player intentionally grabs a ball before they touch the wall, they will be called out by a referee.

Conduct During Matches
2. Durham Dodgeball is going to implement a penalty system for any misconduct/unsportsmanlike behaviour during its games. Misconduct during matches will lead to a Yellow Card or Red Card for the player by a referee. Yellow cards will act as a warning for the player for his/her conduct on court. If the team is given 2 yellow cards, the team will play one player short for the remainder of the match.

Player Referees
3. It would be great if the league could run without the need for referees, but we have seen over the past several seasons, that it can make a big difference having an official for any difficult calls that have to be made. Durham Dodgeball would like to have all returning teams provide a representative that would be willing to referee the hour that they are not playing each week. These players acting as referee's would be refunded their registration fees.

Online Credit Card Payment:

Please note, we are in the process of updating our online payment system. It has been temporarily disabled from the website. We will send out another email when the system has been restored. We will still be excepting electronic money transfers and cash.

If you know anybody who wants to come out and play, please put the word out. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Here's looking forward to a fun Spring season. Thanks everyone for helping us grow and supporting us!

Winter 2017 Registration!

Winter Registration!!!

Hello everybody! The Fall season is winding down and the Winter season is right around the corner beginning on January 11th, 2017. Players are welcome to sign up as individuals, small groups or full teams. It will again be a 10 week season including playoffs.

Fees

Early Bird Rate: From now until December 18, 2016, team registration is be $640 and individual registration is $80 each. After December 18, 2016, the cost of registration increases to $760 per team and $95 per individual.

Confirmation

Due to the high demand over the past few seasons, we have had to turn away some teams and players who were late in registering. Starting this season your registration is considered pending until it's paid in full. If you pay online when you register, you're good. But if you register late, or if you choose to pay later and don't make arrangements with us to pay, you are NOT confirmed, and another individual/team could register, pay and take your spot. We cannot accept any more than 10 teams, the facility just cannot handle any more than that, so once we have 10 paid teams (or teams made up of individual registrations), anyone who isn't paid will unfortunately be out of luck.

Colours

For team registration, team colours are on a first come first serve basis. We've changed things up a bit, and when you register your team and pick your colour, it becomes unavailable for other teams to pick. Teams registering are encouraged to enter all of their teammates names, emails and shirt sizes as it makes it easier to keep your team informed and also easier for us to order shirts.

Notes

A couple side notes, we've updated the website and fixed some of the problems from the past. Registrations made on the early bird deadline will now be charged the proper early bird rate. Online payments will now say "Durham Dodgeball" on your credit card statement.

If you know anybody who wants to come out and play, please put the word out. And if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Here's looking forward to an awesome Winter season. Thanks everyone for helping us grow and supporting us!

I wanted to mention that we also have a deal with The Waltzing Weasel pub at Taunton and Ritson in Oshawa, and we normally head there after the games each Wednesday. We are working towards having a party there at the end of the season. Until then, any money we spend there is put towards our account. That means you, your friends, coworkers, etc, if you go to The Waltzing Weasel just say that your bill is for Durham Dodgeball, and we'll get the credit.
